A good ceiling fan can make a big difference in an otherwise stuffy room, so it’s unfortunate that most of them are pretty unsightly. After a weeks of searching for fans that are both functional and fashionable, our expert found three actually good-looking options — including one fixture called a “fandelier.” The fan’s blades are hidden within an understated shade that looks like a structural lamp, and it comes in a range of neutral colors that would fit nicely in any home.

A hack for the dog days of summer: If you run your ceiling fan and AC at the same time, you should be able to raise your thermostat a bit, without sacrificing your comfort. On particularly hot days, this combination can help keep your energy bill down while keeping you cool.
So effective, it almost seems like magic→
